Gantry Cranes

Product Overview

Gantry cranes are large and powerful lifting machines used in various industries and construction sites for heavy-duty material handling tasks. They are characterized by their distinctive structure, which includes a horizontal beam (often called the bridge) supported by vertical legs or columns at each end. These cranes are designed to move heavy loads horizontally along the length of the bridge and vertically by raising or lowering the load with a hoist or trolley system.

Gantry cranes are highly versatile and come in various configurations to suit different applications. They can be categorized into two main types: full gantry cranes and semi-gantry cranes. Full gantry cranes have legs on both sides of the bridge and provide excellent stability and load capacity. Semi-gantry cranes, on the other hand, have one end of the bridge supported by columns, while the other end runs on a runway or rail system. This design allows them to be used in areas with limited space or where one side of the work area is obstructed.

Gantry cranes find applications in shipyards, construction sites, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and more. They are used to lift and move heavy objects such as containers, machinery, and construction materials. Gantry cranes are known for their efficiency, precision, and ability to handle substantial loads, making them an essential tool in industries where heavy lifting and precise positioning are required.
